Biden moves ahead with transition as Trump fights election results

President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris are moving ahead with planning for his forthcoming administration on Sunday, launching a transition website and preparing a team of people to begin working with federal agencies this week.

A transition official told CNN that, despite President Donald Trump rejecting the election results and fighting them with legal claims, work to prepare for a Biden administration "continues full speed today."

Biden's website, BuildBackBetter.com, after posting a minimal version earlier in the week, now includes four "administration priorities" for the incoming presidency: Covid-19, economic recovery, racial equity and climate change.

The official said that agency review teams, groups of Biden aides tasked to each federal agency, will begin their work this week, "gaining access to federal agencies at the appropriate point." It is unclear if that access will be given as Trump denies the election results.
